What asphalt work costs in Colorado Springs

We only list numbers from published sources that give a Colorado Springs figure. All figures in this table come from HomeBlue's Colorado Springs cost guides, published in 2022, so expect current quotes to differ. Treat them as a starting point, not a quote.

Colorado Springs bids often change with base preparation, the condition of an older driveway, and whether the driveway approach at the street is part of the job. HomeBlue's sealing guide also notes that some contractors charge a $75 to $100 mobilization fee on small driveways. We did not find a sourced local figure for pothole patching alone, so ask for repair as its own line item.

City permits and the public right-of-way

Paving that stays entirely on your own lot does not touch the public right-of-way, but driveway, sidewalk, and curb work at the street does.

License and permit. The City Clerk's Concrete Contractor License page says no one may build or repair a sidewalk, curb and gutter, or driveway in the City right-of-way without first getting a license and a permit. The City's Right-of-Way Management team is at (719) 385-5977.

New curb cuts. The City's Curb-cut/Driveway Application says new secondary driveways and curb cuts must be approved by City Engineering and Traffic before a concrete permit, with about 5 business days for review. For low density residential sites, the opening must be 12 to 24 feet wide at the curb and set back 5 feet from adjacent property lines.

Colorado Springs weather and the best time to pave

Our tip for Colorado Springs homeowners: late spring through early fall is the best window for paving and sealcoating. Fresh asphalt and sealcoat need warm, dry days, so plan around the long freeze season.
